Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s father Jose Becker was swimming at a dam on his property in southern Brazil. Unfortunately, he drowned while swimming. The accident happened on Wednesday afternoon.
The tragic accident happened around 5 pm yesterday and no foul play has been suspected. The body of Jose Becker was later located that evening nearby. His body was reportedly found around midnight by a friend and employee of the family estate in the city of Bage.
